The Radiography Exam Development Coordinator, Ann Miller, says: "Lorie is an awesome volunteer! As both an educator and technologist, Lorie's experience and knowledge is so very valuable. I do appreciate her editing skills when it comes to the reviewing both before and during exam committee meetings. She has also been active in helping to recruit new volunteers from the new graduates."
